Thank you John and Genna, and Rasma and Theresa! I wonder too how it is that we function and 6:30 in the morning!!

How very interesting Audrey. We each have out times and places. I am most likely to hear the muse between 11:00 pm and 2:00 am. But then I am a night person and currently I teach classes from noon until six in the evening, so I sleep from 2 or 3 until 10 in the morning.

I wonder now how I ever got up at six am (and in a good mood, too) to get my three boys ready for school all those years? :) Theresa

This is a delight…the muse who slips in, sometimes under the covers, at the most unexpected time. I liked the parable and metaphor about the ”10:30” on loan, and 3.5%; this is one of my favorites, Audrey. Your poetry is one of the reasons I love the poetry month.

Fun poem Audrey. I have found you can't control you muse, it controls you....well written.

Funny one this. No such difficulty or leisure for me. By His grace, they are constantly coming: prose or poetry.

No slur on you, as you are definitely an exquisite poet par excellence.

Thanks Wayne!

Just the right verse to point out that it is best that we not 'force' the effort lest we come up dry. That is a great '10:30" poem--one of the best that I have read! ~WB
